SOUP-PLATE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 18,1908.

/ Application filed September 6. 1907. Serial No. 391.560.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT COHEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Soup Plates, of

ollowing is a specification,

This invention relates to plates forsoup or other liquid and its object is to provide a construction which will avoid spilling of the contents when the plate is being carried or when it is being used on a moving vehicle or on shi board, or moved about in an way.

Of t e accompanying drawings, igure 1 represents a plan view of my improved soupplate, and Fig. 2 represents a vertical cross section.

In the drawings, 10 is the bowl and 11 is the circumferential outwardly projecting flange or rim, both of which are or may be eha ed in the usual way, the flange having a sli gt inward slope toward the bowl.

accordance with my invention I provide an integral circumferential flange or dike 12 projecting inwardly over the bowl from about the place where the outer rim 11 joins the bowl and having sufiicient width to prevent the esca e of the contents even w ll gn e central 9. erture inclosed by this dike is made s cientl wide to allow free access to the interior of t e bowl.

I prefer to give the dike a slight inward slope as shown, so that any of the contents reaching the rim 11 or the flange 12 will have a tendency to shed back into the bowl, and I refer also to depress the dike 12 somewhat, caving rim and dike to facilitate stacking with other dishes, etc. The plate ma be made of glazed earthenware or any of t e usual materials, and some variation in shape and specific arrangement is contemplated without departing from the invention.

I do not confine myself to the precise details of construction and relative arrangement and dimensions of parts as herein set forth since some variation is contemplatedv as within the scope of the invention.

I claim 1. A. souplate having abowl and an mtegral inwar y-sloping circumferential dikepartiallyk covering the bowl and serving to retain t e contents or to shed them mto the bowl.

2. A soup late having a bowl, an integral outwar ly-projecting and inwardlyshedding rim and an integral inwardl -projecting and shedding circumferential di e depressed slightly below the rim.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the resence of two subscribing wltnesses, the 31' day of Se tember 1907.
